This Saturday, I’ll be running my 6th half marathon. I’m so excited to head down to Richmond for the third year in a row, but my first year running the half marathon (I’ve run the full marathon in Richmond twice – here are those recaps). I actually realized that this will be my 19th race […]

After a big race, how do you adjust to the feeling of having accomplished that particular goal? Do you take it easy for a few days or get right back into a routine? After the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, I flew to Miami for a work trip and was there for 3 days. While I […]

Well, folks, I’m pleased to report that the Nike Women’s 1/2 Marathon is done and I made it! As I wrote about, I was in Tampa until Saturday afternoon working my organization’s annual conference. It was filled with late nights and (very) early mornings and I knew I’d be tired. In addition, I was quite […]

As you all know, I’m (attempting) to train for two big races this spring. The first is the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler on April 7. The second is the Nike Women’s Half Marathon on April 28.

I DID IT! It took about 2.5 hours, lots of sweat, pain, tears and doubts, but I ran my second ever half marathon this past Saturday. And man — I gotta be honest, it kicked my butt a bit. As I wrote about, I began to get really tired of running and so I definitely […]

I have a confession to make. I will be so.freaking.happy when this half marathon is OVER. In less than a week, I will have completed my second half marathon and I’m quite certain that the desire to run another one won’t overtake me for another, oh…ten years. 🙂 I kid. But only a tiny bit. I’ll […]

I previously discussed why THE List doesn’t contain any mention of romantic relationships. THE List also doesn’t mention any of my professional goals. That is not because I don’t have professional goals – I actually have quite a few. The reason they are not reflected in my list of 30 is two part. First, those goals […]
